Tricky Cookies on a "Snow Day"...

We woke up to snow covering Austin! And by covering, I mean a light dusting that is very pretty, but not a big deal to us who lived 2 hard winters in the mid west. Oh well - the kids got out of school and Tyler, who was supposed to fly out to FLORIDA mid morning, got a little delayed to spend more time with us. So, after some play in the snow before it melted, we luckily had all the ingredients for cookies - we love to bake together. And we even had Payson in the mix sitting in the sling on me. Little did the kids know that we baked "Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Lactation Cookies":) I found the recipe when I was preggo and have been saving it. Not sure what in them causes the extra lactating, but there is 2 cups of whole wheat flour, 3 cups of oatmeal, Brewer's yeast, and flaxmeal...all not your traditional chocolate chip cookie ingredients, but they turned out super delicious!
